Wednesday Before and After


Before: Antique Mersman Sidetables

In pretty decent shape but as you know, plain wood is not my favorite, and frankly these needed a little more personality.
I found these awesome Japanese Pagoda pictures that had irresistible colors and mood.  I just had to put them on these side tables and put a pretty border around them to finish off the look.

After: Pagoda inspired twin tables

The front drawer and side panels have coordinating striped paper and cute knobs to finish the look.
I just love these pretty little tables.  I could totally see them as bedside tables or in a cottage next to a shabby chic sofa.





Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly

    Oooh Kelly, I adore these tables -- a gorgeous picture! I don't usually like the distressed look but you've done such a wonderful job making it look absolutely realistic to the time period. LOVE

    And thanks so much for your 'fabulous' comment on my site -- after seeing your work, I'm honoured by your praise.

    Now, I peeked a gorgeous dresser of yours that I gotta go look at -- I can't wait to discover all your work.

Ideas For DIY Garden Art

Image
These dead trees have burned in patterns. I think this is so amazing! A beautiful succulent topiary lady. This one cracks me up! An old window and some dollar store beads and voila, a shimmering wall hanging. These mosaic columns are made from pvc piping scraps.  Pretty awesome! Got glass?  Now here is a cool reuse, make garden totems. Adorable little gnome house. A bundle of sticks make the base of these simple Zen looking pillars. Love the wabi sabiness of these! Save those lids and caps from your recycling and make a cute owl.  So simple. If you have a bunch of old hardware, bottle caps, hub caps, metal scraps, etc you too can make this fence or wall decoration. STAY GROOVY - Kelly

Barn Mural Revealed

Image
My huge white barn got the royal makeover these past couple of days when my girlfriend came to visit and help me with this massive project. My gal pal hard at work!  She even provided some of the exterior paint.... She rocks! We tried a bit of shading but it just didn't look good.  We ended up covering it up and going with simple clean lines. My bestie, Kelly O.  She worked her ass off and enjoyed every minute of it... Maybe it was the beer! Side angle view. The rest of the white will get a coat of tan to match the house trim. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  It turned out better than I thought it would! Thanks to Kelly, not many people would spend their short vacation painting barns for friends, she is amazing and talented.  I love love love the new look!!!!

Wednesday's Before and After Furniture Makeover

Image
BEFORE This buffet/sideboard needed a significant attitude adjustment.  I loved the detail on the front but the chipped and peeling veneer was an eyesore....  Ooh, I know just what this needs... AFTER Now with a sophisticated black and white themed look with some sassy red knobs, this could be a multipurpose piece... Think Bar, Buffet, etc etc. Meet my newest creation... "SPEAKEASY". Detail on middle drawers.  Would you like Cabernet or Zin? No bar is complete without the music...(side cabinet door details)
